''The Boar's Head Carol''
- Anonymous, 1521
- 1.
- The boar's head in hand bear I
- Bedecked with bays and rosemary .
- I pray you, my masters, be merry
- Quot estis in convivio. - [howsoever many are at the feast]
- Caput apri defero, - [I bring the boar's head]
- Reddens laudes Domino. - [rendering praises to the Lord]
- 2.
- The boar's head, as I understand,
- Is the rarest dish in all the land,
- Which thus bedecked with a gay garland,
- Servitur cum sinapio. - [it is served with mustard]
- Caput apri defero,
- Reddens laudes Domino.
- 3.
- Our steward hath provided this
- In honour of the King of bliss
- Which on this day to be served is
- In Reginensi Atrio: - [in the Queen's hall]
- Caput apri defero,
- Reddens laudes Domino.
- 4.
- The boar's head, I dare well say,
- Anon after the eleventh day,
- He takes his leave and goes away,
- Exivit tum de patria. - [he has then left the fatherland]
- Caput apri defero,
- Reddens laudes Domino.
